Free at last, the rope is off and our little pal is about
to duck out of sight.
He swam away, apparently unscathed.
What an amazing honor to help such a beautiful animal.
The deathtrap.
We were so lucky to have been in the right
place at the right time. I'm sure we'll always

Our dear friends are counting on us!
I'm starting to feel freedom!
Just hanging
out now.
OK, I get it,
you're trying to help me.
I'll just relax.
We find out what's tied up.
It's a sea turtle in
serious trouble.
A struggle ensues.
He doesn't know
what we're up to.
Hmmm, did I just feel that
rope loosen?
